JOKE OF THE WEEK
A California highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding
car on the crowded freeway. Glancing at the car, the officer
was astounded to see that the old woman behind the
wheel was knitting.
She was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, so the
patroplman cranked down his window, turned on his bullhorn and
yelled, "PULL OVER!"
"NO," the woman yelled back. "IT'S A SCARF!"
GET YOUR THINKING CAP ON
A question will be set every week for you all to try and answer. The question will be a mind-bending puzzle, and the answer will be given next week.
The question:-
FUN ON H2G2
I enjoy browsing pages on h2g2, so I thought that I would bring your attention to some of the fun researcher written pages I have come across on my travels.
How about reading up on a few of those itty bitty little pocket games that we all know and love. This article by The Apprentice tells you everything plus more.
NAME THAT SONG
Each week I will print a quote from a song, all you have to do is guess the title of the song and who sang it.
This weeks quote:-
'This is the song, we lovers of water sing'
THE WEEKLY ANAGRAM
For those that don't know, an anagram is a word or words, formed from rearranging letters from another word or words. An example anagram would be, Cat Got Beer, which reaaranged makes my name Greebo T. Cat.
Each week I will print an anagram and a clue to what it is. You will have until next week to get the answer.
HEY, NO TONGUES
hint: British Comedy 1980's and 90's
